Anthropic Integrates Claude into U.S. Community College Curricula
Anthropic has partnered with CodePath to integrate Claude AI tools, including Claude Code, into computer-science programs at over 1,000 U.S. community and state colleges. The initiative aims to equip students with real-world coding and AI literacy, focusing on historically Black and Hispanic-serving institutions.
The collaboration underscores a sector-wide push to embed AI into higher education. Google is offering Gemini to more than 1,000 colleges through Purdue and others, while OpenAI is funding a consortium of research universities with $50 million. Microsoft is providing free 12-month subscriptions to eligible students.
Colleges are updating curricula at an accelerated pace as three-quarters of employers expect graduates to be AI-literate, per a CarringtonCrisp and EFMD survey. The partnership is designed to ensure students gain hands-on experience and build professional portfolios.ExpandAnthropic has partnered with CodePath to integrate Claude AI tools, including Claude Code, into computer-science programs at over 1,000 U.S. community and state colleges.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported January core CPI rose 2.5% year-over-year and 0.3% month-over-month, down from December’s 2.6% annual pace and 0.3% monthly increase.

62-Year-Old Investor: Executor and POA Planning, Retirement Strategy
An investor at 62 with a multimillion-dollar portfolio, no heirs and no spouse, seeks advice on estate planning and retirement. He currently names his high school in Hawaii as beneficiary and is considering an independent executor and durable power of attorney to manage his affairs if he becomes incapacitated.
Professional fiduciaries or banks offering executor services are recommended over friends or relatives due to the time, stress and potential conflicts they can bring. A revocable trust can help avoid probate and provide for asset management. Review the plan annually and consider QCDs ($110,000 in 2026) to reduce taxable income and required minimum distributions.
For retirement, shift to a capital preservation strategy (e.g., 50/50 or 60/40 stock-to-bond), max catch-up contributions, delay Social Security until age 70, and consider LTC insurance and HSAs. No need to marry for care; professional planning can ensure comfort and independence in later years.ExpandAn investor at 62 with a multimillion-dollar portfolio, no heirs and no spouse, seeks advice on estate planning and retirement.

EU Exports to U.S. Rise 2.4% in 2025 Amid Tariffs; Chinese Imports Up 6.3% to Europe
EU exports to the U.S. rose 2.4% to 554 billion euros in 2025 despite higher tariffs and a stronger euro, with gains concentrated in early 2025 as firms built buffers. Meanwhile, imports from China climbed 6.3% to 559 billion euros, as U.S. tariffs drive trade diversion. The eurozone’s GDP expanded 1.5% in 2025, outpacing many pre-Trump forecasts, but the trade surplus in goods shrank to 133.5 billion euros as imports rose 2.4% to 2.5 trillion euros. Falling prices on Chinese imports, down 10% year-over-year in H2 2024, are exerting a disinflationary effect, prompting ECB officials to monitor inflation expectations closely.ExpandEU exports to the U.S. rose 2.4% to 554 billion euros in 2025 despite higher tariffs and a stronger euro, with gains concentrated in early 2025 as firms built buffers.
